Summer Road Trip: Ilocos Norte

-
For our final destination before we went back home, we decided to make a detour to Ilocos Norte. We stayed there for three days (May 25 – 27, 2015).

We first went to Badoc to go to Juan Luna Shrine but sadly it was under renovation so we did not had the chance to go inside. But the tour guide talked about Juan Luna’s painting and life.


We then check in Playa Tropical Resort in Currimao, which was so nice. The place is a Balinese inspired beach side resort and we got a tierra, which is a cottage type house, which can accommodate 8 persons and it has its own pool.


Since it was on the beach side you can have the option to swim in their pool or in the beach. And I had so much fun swimming wit
h my family.

The next day we went to tour around Ilocos Norte (Paoay, Laoag City and Batac)

Marcos Presidential Centre (Batac)



Paoay Chuch (Paoay)



Malacañang of the North

This trip has been so fun and educational at the same time. I got to spend more time with my family and at the same time learn about the history of the Philippines. I also got to relax in Playa Tropical Resort and I recommend the place to anybody who is looking for a place to relax and get away from the busy city.
